Identifying the files to be restored

To identify the file(s) that you need to restore, look at the log table. In the log table you can find the document number and/or the names of the files to be restored as well as information about all end-user operations in the projects. To find the correct information, search the Project Portal project log for the project from which the files were lost.

The fields of the log table are explained in Table 2 below.
